A Simple Look at Religion

A collection of Craig Lock’s various articles on religion (and different religions).

Author’s Note:
This is a rough draft of the manuscript, but am uploading as I write it.

My aim in sharing this piece, is striving in some small way to attempt to break down barriers…and mis-understandings between different religions, cultures and peoples. Together, let’s look at what we have in common, our shared humanity, rather than what divides us, yet still being able to celebrate our unique cultures (and up-bringings) as citizens on planet earth.
And building “BRIDGES of UNITY” all starts one mind, one heart, one life, one soul at a time.

Together, one mind, one heart, one life at a time, let's plant the seeds, the hope of a better and brighter future.
